MAGIC MIRANDA – Jumped away awkwardly and bumped the hind quarters of VENTIAN BEAUTY.
 
VENTIAN BEAUTY – Bumped at the start.
 
BERNIN CASH – Stood flatfooted at the start and lost considerable ground.  Trainer L. Gough was advised that a warning would be placed on the mare’s racing manners.
 
BIG CALL – Overraced in the early stages.  When questioned regarding the tactics adopted in the early stages of the race, jockey  M. Cahill explained that he was instructed to ride back in the field  from the wide barrier  and rather than being forced to cover additional ground to the outside of DANGER ANNIE, he elected to restrain behind that runner  approaching the first turn.  He added that he improved into the race approaching the 600m and made the decision to shift wider in the home straight and, in his opinion, the filly closed the race off well.  Stewards noted the explanation.
 
TAY SWIFT – Jockey G. Colless advised that his mount hung out for a major part of the race when racing wide, and did not handle today’s rain affected track. A post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any significant abnormalities.
 
Following this race the track rating was downgraded to Heavy 8
 
 
 
Race 3:  Hardy Brothers Doomben Cup Day CG&E Maiden Plate – 1200m   – 1660m

2 cents in the dollar for the Win
4 cents in the dollar for place of winner
2 cents in the dollar for 2nd place
8 cents in the dollar for 3rd place #
 
SP bets are not subject to deductions.  
 
Connections were advised that  the horse must trial satisfactorily in an official trial  prior to its next race start.
 
SMOOCH -  Jockey J. Oliver stated his mount was reluctant to stretch out in the going, and  although it was successful last start on a heavy track, in his view, it did not handle today’s  rain affected track.
 
DAPPER ONE – Apprentice M. Murphy reported that the hores pulled up making an abnormal respiratory noise.   A post race veterinary examination revaled the horse to be suffering from heat stress and making an abnormal upper respiratory track noise.  Trainer L. Ross advised that he had the horse scoped upon return to his stables, the results of which confirmed that DAPPER ONE was suffering from a respiratory complaint. He further added that it was his intention to spell the gelding.  
 
 
Race 5:  Treasury Ladies Oaks Day CG&E Class 3 Plate - 1350m
 
OCEAN CITY – Declared a late scratching at 2 pm due to the downgrading of the track.
 
REAL STING – Slow to begin.
 
IRONBORN – Tightened for room and had to be steadied approaching the 800m.  Apprentice T. Brooker, rider of DREAMS APLENTY, was reprimanded for allowing her mount to shift in when not fully clear at this stage.
 
Following the running of this race some riders expressed concerns with the state of the track, particularly between the 800m and 600m.   Subsequently stewards inspected this section and found it unsuitable to continue racing and the remainder of the meeting was abandoned at 3.25 pm.
